Shaman

During one of my strolls around our public market, I met a man who was some sort of a shaman. He sold amulets, which we locally call "anting-anting", which were supposed to ward-off evil spirits. He had all kinds of vines and herbs and other interesting what-nots, each one meant for a particular concern. I saw these amber colored rocks and found out they were Frankincense, yup, one of the gifts of the Magi. I learned that the church uses them for blessings and funerals. I'm not quite sure if the black rock is myrrh. I hope to go back to capture this interesting man one day.
